Top Six Tumblrs Featuring Butches Doing Things

Gabrielle

Posted by

When you love someone, the regular things they do become cute. And when they do things that are already cute, it's like, a cute explosion. So how about when you're a fan of an entire group of people? Take, for example, butches. Who doesn't love a good photo of a butch doing something? Anything at all. But especially doing something cute.

Sometimes, though, it can be really hard to find such photos. A simple Google search doesn't usually cut it:

kill me

Lucky for my little heart, Tumblr seems to appreciate Butches Doing Things as much as I do. Without further ado, here are the Internet's finest sources of pictures of butches doing [cute] things.

+

Butches and Babies

via Butches + Babies

We've already told you about this one, but it's worth revisiting.

+

Butches with Cute Animals

via Butches with Cute Animals

Really, what else do you need in life?

+

Baking Butches

via Baking Butches

I think maybe this should turn into a baking company with a storefront near my house. 

+

Butches Smiling

via Butches Smiling

This is perfect in its simplicity.

+

Butch Hands

via Butch Hands

This is about butches Doing Things with their hands and it's hot.

+

    Perfect post is perfect.
    I’m going to stare at these now and hope that a lovely butch lady other than my ex will magically show up at my school.

    This is completely relevant to my day. I saw the sweetest butch couple on the L today. The one was reading and the other was asleep under the other’s arm, and they were just curled into each other, almost as if nothing else existed.

      Call Ben and Jerry’s, bc that flavor needs to happen! I’m thinking something with a touch of whiskey/caramel, and pretzel pieces. Also, must be consumed while leaning.

    at next camp i’d like to host a workshop entitled:

    Being a Good House Butch aka House Butching it Up

    “cuz i’ve got our baby on my hip, dinner is ready and oh, you see that? it’s called a clean house.”

    DONE.

    Wow! Thumb up 32
    1. lyricmelody

      Yes, please. That would be that would be so fucking hot. Even though i’m not butch, i would come through just to check out which butches wanted to partipate, lol.

    I like the way butches lean. They lean great.

  11. Abby

    So I think the texts I immediately sent to my girlfriend upon seeing this post most accurately sum up my feelings about this:

    “This butches doing things post is the best thing”
    “I’m so happy right now”
    “Omg. Butches with babies. This is all the feelings.”
    “I CAN’T HANDLE IT. TOO MUCH ADORABLE.”

    i totally do that butch thing where i just lean against shit all the time with my arms folded and my grin super crooked and cocky and shit. and i’ll cock my head a little bit and maybe raise an eyebrow like i know what the fuck i’m talking about, but i usually don’t because i’m actively fighting being weak at the knees for the gorgeous little thing in front of me.

    god, i feel like if i was a cis dude i would be the most epic douchebag manwhore and i would literally hate me so much.

    Wow! Thumb up 48

      soooo. you’re volunteering to be the first model for the Butches Leaning on Things tumblr?

      I feel like we could be great friends, leaning against walls, making eyes at laydays.

      Shit, I never really thought about it before, but I totally do the lean too

      Thumb up 0
    4. Ernie

      Also, FYI:
      the lean is a great way for introvert butches to still appear suave, cool, and sophisticated while facing a room full of good-looking people.

      Hands or thumbs in front or back pockets is optional.

      Thumb up 4
      1. Marika

        Everyone can mock me for this, but if I think my jeans fit me really nicely, I like to tuck my thumbs into my waistband and pull them down justtt a little. Casually like ‘oh hai I’m feeling sexy, here are my hipbones and my american eagle trunks.’

        I probably shouldn’t even share that with the internet cause it’s embarrassing but TOO LATE NOW.

        Wow! Thumb up 25

        agreed on all counts there, Torre, but i’m pretty sure that sydney was referring to her specific fetish for butch *hands*.
        and girl, i feel you. i don’t know what it is about them (there’s something that’s not purely about the sex, i promise), but the hands. oh god, their hands.

    Considering I just got turned down by a cute butch-leaning (in both senses of the word) girl for not being femme enough, this is relevant to my interests. Thanks AS writers/community for reminding me that butch on butch does exist. Typically I do go for slightly femme of center girls, but this one butch girl made me weak in the knees. Since I hover around androgynous (some days slightly femme, other days boi/butch) it’s usually hard for me to win over anyone other than the curious straight girl…and that never lasts.

    Hey so I run a tumblr blog too that is really hot and wanted to share it with you all if you didn’t know it already. It’s got lots of hot butches on it, but is not specifically focused on just them. It’s http://www.fuckyeahqueerpomps.tumblr.com and is dedicated to hot queers and their pompadour hairdo’s. You all can thank me later (and please do stop by and submit photos of your lovely selves if you sport a pomp or know someone who does!).
